    It's an amazing college for girls seeking a safe yet good college in Delhi.
    Placements: The top recruiting companies are Deloitte and TATA, but most of the opportunities are catered to students from economics and commerce backgrounds. Apart from that, I think Mathematics department students also get placed in these companies. However, if you are seeking something in academics, you can go ahead with it.
    Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is good, but tables in some classrooms are slightly broken, including the fans. Gardens are amazing, and the environment is very peaceful. The canteen food is good, but the only problem is that the canteen tender changes frequently. It makes it very unpredictable.
    Faculty: The classes occur on a regular basis, and if you attend them, the exams do not feel difficult at all. Faculty of the English department is very cooperative and friendly. If you are an active student, then this college definitely shapes you in many ways.

    Overall average experience, good campus and area but could get some improvement.
    Placements: English Hons students have fewer placement opportunities in comparison to other courses, but skill-based placement is available. Recruitment for English students is usually by publishing companies for roles like publishing assistant, etc. But it is not that common then there are skill-based internships for people interested, like in PR and graphic design, etc.
    Infrastructure: Canteen used to be good but then it deteriorated with the change in tender. Wi-Fi is good tho the connectivity is less in some places. The library is excellent and classrooms are a mix. Hostel has limited availability so usually only 1st year students live there.
    Faculty: Exams are quite easy. If you are paying attention in class, you could easily clear them. Self-study is required, but overall experience is okay. The faculty is 50/50. Some professors are clueless, whereas some are quite knowledgeable and will guide you every step of the way.

    Decent placements, beautiful Chanakyapuri location, and great college life.
    Placements: Placements are pretty decent here. Around 50-60 percent of students get placed, mostly from commerce. The highest package touches around 15 LPA-20 LPA, the lowest is around 3 LPA, and the average is around 5 LPA. Top companies like Deloitte, EY, and KPMG visit the campus. The placement cell also brings good internship opportunities for roles like HR and marketing.
    Infrastructure: The campus is super green and beautiful. We have Wi-Fi, a huge library, and well-equipped labs. Classrooms are fine but could use better ACs/fans. The hostel is safe with decent rooms, and the canteen is cheap, though the food is just average.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and very supportive. The DU curriculum is relevant, but you need internships to be industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate. The college deserves good rankings in NIRF
    Other: It is located in Chanakyapuri, the area is super safe and beautiful. Satya Niketan is nearby for hanging out. Our fest Rhapsody and cultural societies are amazing. Only the admin office work is a bit slow.

    Placements: Maitreyi College offers the best placement to genuinely skilled students. Skills are developed when you are part of something meaningful and useful. Companies also offer jobs to students who have current skills and knowledge.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Maitreyi College is very beautiful. There are lots of flowers and trees on the campus. The NSB rooms are well furnished, and clean drinking water is available on campus. Water coolers are also available, so please choose Maitreyi.
    Other: To be honest, I never wanted to take admission in the sociology department, but unfortunately, I got it. However, this course and professors changed my whole perspective about the world and society. Being a part of DU Maitreyi College is one of my best experiences because it is not just a place. Here we gain knowledge, but also where we learn moral ethics.

    It has a great campus and vibe. Placements are honestly a struggle.
    Placements: Placements are okay and mostly depend on your course. For specialized courses, around 40-50% of students who sit for interviews get placed. Big names like KPMG, Deloitte, and some tech startups do visit for roles like research analyst, HR, or content writing. A lot of us prefer internships first, and the placement cell helps with that. The average package ranges from 3-5 LPA, but you have to be active in societies to really stand out.
    Infrastructure: The campus is quite green and chill. The library is the best spot to hide during exams, and it's well-stocked. Wi-Fi works in most places but can be slow sometimes. Canteen food is actually decent and won't burn a hole in our pockets. Since it's in Chanakyapuri, the whole area feels very safe and clean, which is a big plus point.
    Faculty: Teachers are actually quite helpful, and they know their stuff. They don't just read from books but actually discuss things. Exams are typical DU style. If you've done the last 10 years' papers, you're sorted. The pass percentage is usually very high because the internal marking is quite fair if you attend classes.

    College is fine, as it is only for girls, so it is better.
    Placements: If our course is in the arts, then there are no placements related to it; people go to further fields like professor, IPS, IAS. The rest of us prepare for most of our courses according to our subjects. We still have a lot to do in life, which means further studies. Most of the students pursue a Master's, and the rest continue their studies through Ph.D. etc.
    Infrastructure: There are plenty of facilities here, and there is Wi-Fi in the college. There is also a library in which all books, etc., are available. There is a canteen near the library where you don't get much good food. You get samosas and some other snacks. The college does not have its own hostel. According to me, everyone lives in private PGs.
    Faculty: Our teachers here are good, and their teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is correct, and everything else is okay. Semester exams are conducted from the main office of the college, the Delhi University branch. Semester exam difficulty is not great.
    Other: We have the most off-day scholars here. Many things can be improved, such as the way the course is taught. The rest of the events at the fest are all good.
